This teams s**t. Can’t back up a good performance to save themselves

Back to the Essendon we know. Woo hoo.

Get out of my team Laverde

Story of missed opportunities. Need to take our chances or they’ll pounce. Sick of seeing draper only attempt chest marks. His weapon is height and it completely nullifies it.

Given we're coming off a 13 day break the only acceptable outcome here is a win. Would like to Hayes given a run to play on Darcy, most likely at the expense of Laverde.

No worse than Draper and he’s played 50 less games.

Time to see what Bryan can do in the ones. Drapers way too inconsistent to be a walk up start in the ones. Need to select based on form.

This team is trash. Make a statement at selection. Embarrassing.

Hoping we only make minimal changes; In - Redman, Parish Out - Wright, Laverde Go with a smaller forward line & have Hind play a defensive forward role on NWM. I'd go Hobbs as the sub. Looked pretty average last week but hopefully he bounces back soon.

The sensible outcome here would be to ban either leading at the football or taking intercept marks. Both actions create too much risk for collisions.

I'd go in with a smaller forward line rather than rush Jones or Caddy in sooner than we should. We spent half of 2023 with Langford & the resting ruck as the main talls. Less height but more pressure against a saints HB line that loves to run.

Probably doesn't help that Duursma isn't performing on the wing either. Martin back to the wing & Duursma to HF/back up wing.

Always enjoy watching this team meltdown in close matches

Was impressed by his hands at ground level for such a tall bloke. Better than some of our mids.

Have all the forwards been told to all run into the same spot? Forward line structure looked the worst I’ve seen in a while.
